Somesocial networks are specifically intended to support two-way communication while others, likeTwitter, are really intended for broadcast or multicast subscription-based communication. In thissection we discuss a number of social media features and indicate how different popular socialnetwork systems support them. Finally, we discuss the relevancy of using those features foreducation.There are a number of desirable features of social networks that have the potential to impact botheducational and workplace activities. With the increased use of social networks in the workplacefor supporting collaboration between different communities of practice within organizations, oneof

First, they are thorough and well-documented scenarios. Created by the Chesapeake BayProgram, they represent extensive study and scholarship and include detailed explanations of thescientific reasoning that was used to set each variable. Second, they represent a wide variety ofconditions in the Chesapeake Bay watershed

This paperpresents the results of on an action research study designed to elicit “best practices” forincorporating structured computer use into a technology-infused classroom. Throughobservations of expert instructors, and a review of literature, the authors identified six Tablet PCinstructional strategies that can be employed to create structured Tablet PC use within atechnology-infused classroom. Those strategies are 1) digital ink, 2) distributing instructor-generated content, 3) collecting student-generated content, 4) blacking out the projector, 5)polling questions, and 6) instructor screen broadcast. Student interviews, instructor experiences,and a preliminary student survey were used to

innovative plan for thedevelopment, implementation, and evaluation of an effective curriculum of CFD intended as acommon course for senior undergraduate and junior graduate level students. The curriculum isbeing designed with learning objectives, applications, conditions, and exercise notes. One of themain objectives is to teach students from novice to expert users preparing them with adequatefluid mechanics fundamentals and hands-on CFD project works in order to prepare them for theircapstone design projects, higher education and further research in fluid mechanics. We haveplanned to incorporate a CFD educational interface for hands-on student experience in fluidmechanics, which reflects real-world engineering applications used in companies

strength of on-line offerings1. Students in the study commented: “As a fulltime student who also has a fulltime job, it is essential for me to be able to access course material, lectures, assignments, and get in contact with my classmates on my schedule - which frequently means in the late evenings. This is made possible in online course delivery.” “If we didn’t have this option I don’t think I would be able to ever graduate and I think this applies to many students who live far from campus, who work full time, have a family and/or children who need care“.While students are attracted to online courses for the time convenience, other research indicatesthat the on-line learner’s ability to manage time for
